Halvah-Sesame Sundae
"My passion for halvah (the sesame-seed candy) is no secret. I love its crunchy, gritty, nutty flavor. I first started eating it in Paris at the pâtisseries orientales: the Middle Eastern sweet shops in the fifth arrondissement, near La Sorbonne. The flavor of halvah works well with caramel. Sesame is the new vanilla!"—Bill YossesThe sesame-flavored ice cream for this sundae is fun and unique, but store-bought vanilla ice cream is delicious, too.Recipe reprinted from The Perfect Finish by Bill Yosses.
